Its not possible to have comparable specs with ps4/xb1, to do that and sell at 250 usd would most likely mean selling the console at a loss, which is never nintendo's intention. Their hardware is always overpriced in terms of components used, ppl who got buy their stuff before will sure know.

They also wont get much 3rd party support, partly because of the reason above, partly because of their choice of storage for the games: cartridge. How big can those get? I play pc versions of lots of newer titles, most of them are like 40gb minimum.

The switch's selling point is pretty much the same titles: zelda, mario, mario kart, splatoon, etc. Either you like them or you dont. Also got a bunch of 3rd party games that traditionally only appear on nintendo handhelds like shin megami tensei, bravely default, monster hunter, pokemon.

Well. You can think of the cartridge as sd cards. Think the target size is 32gb. Or less. Which I think is smart move they can make the footprint small without any disk drive. And it should be quite competitive in terms of read speed against bluray drives.

Yes we ought to be cautious about the overhype, at the end of the day this is just like vita with vita tv function included, except that:

1. Vita tv only works with a limited no of titles for whatever stupid reason; this one should work for all titles
2. This is essentially a nintendo portable console with the convenience of porting the games to tv, the library of games available should be impressive. Just dont expect sui sui 1080p 60fps graphics with AA as that has never been nintendo's strongsuit, just upscaled mobile quality games.

some games with many touchscreen control cant work on VTV la. even you connect a DS4, using the touchpad for the touchscreen function is gonna be a pain. just like trying to play games on pc using touchpad instead of a mouse. however i do agree that sony could have done more to support it. both vita product are kinda being treated like a b@stard child.
